Summary:

The seven schools in Rescue Union Elementary include five elementary and two middle schools, with tested grades spanning third through eighth, and enroll 3,542 students combined. In 2025–2026, all seven scored above the state result in English language arts, math and science, but results varied substantially from school to school—especially in math and science.

Marina Village Middle led the group in ELA (80%) and science (66%), while Lakeview Elementary led in math (79%). Each leader was about 3 to 5 percentage points ahead of the next-highest school in that subject. At the other end, Pleasant Grove Middle had the lowest math result (41%), 38 points below Lakeview, and was the lowest-scoring middle school in all three subjects. Lake Forest Elementary had the group’s lowest ELA result (58%), while Green Valley Elementary had the lowest science result (37%). Even these lowest results remained above the corresponding state figures.

Across the schools, average results fell from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 by about 1 point in ELA, 1 in math and 6 in science, even as state results rose; the average school-to-state gaps narrowed by about 1, 2 and 10 points, respectively. SchoolDigger rankings rose for Marina Village (93rd to 95th percentile) and Rescue Elementary (82nd to 90th), but fell for Lake Forest (87th to 76th). SchoolDigger gives five stars to Marina Village, Lakeview, Jackson Elementary and Rescue, and four stars to the other three. Lakeview, Jackson and Rescue have similar enrollments and student-teacher ratios (24.8, 24.8 and 24.7); their science results range from 50% to 61%. Their reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 10%, 12% and 25%, respectively, for sy 2024–2025—context that does not by itself explain their differing results.
